AHIMA is not a regulatory body. I read da-nose and think it is brilliant.

Billing practices have long been an issue in this industry, but I guess I don't see where you are coming from on the impending regulation thing. It has been a long week for me and looks to be a longer weekend so my brain cells are a bit drained, lol.

Yes, it is so. This comes from an AHIMA approved
someone going to school for RHIA. RHITs/coders will be phased out as technology advances.
BRILLIANT!
!
You are brilliant!!!!
I tried your idea and you were right. Everything is there if you use Internet Explorer. Thanks for helping.
Not exactly brilliant....
I just have a way of having things go wrong so often that I've gotten good at looking at the variables and guessing what's screwing me up this time. LOL I wish I could make a new career in that!
This one is brilliant!
LOL---You know what they say about brilliant minds:-) nm
according to 1 brilliant mind on here..
she does VR on fast forward only correcting important stuff to get her 400 lph or greater to make $$$$. for her, it's all about ka-ching. some people just can't be taught. does she not realize her initials go on the bottom of each and every one of those reports? Her QA is less than 97% and is only checked once a year!
Haha!! Brilliant move!!
I did the same thing once when I worked in-house. The cherry-picker ended up being written-up. That's the way it should be. The good employees should have a fair shake of things. Too bad people like sm will defend them. Yes, revenge is sweet LOL. Justice!
Brilliant! a real catch-22
And you cannot keep copies because of HIPPA so you cannot win.
Heads up every body! sm
I thought this was rather interesting. A while back I posted about working a short time for a company and then leaving because I wasn't happy with the platform and got a better offer. Anyway, I was not paid for my work and about a month had gone by, so I posted here asking for help and was given a few good places to start. I recently received an e-mail from said business with a copy of my post from this board, basically Ha!, we caught you. However, I did receive my pay 3 days later. So, for anyone who doesn't think companies take time to read these boards, think again. I never imagined transcription company owners would have time to sit around reading posts on MT boards.
Oh, there is something on the end of your nose.

Any body know anything about a company named PTS,
curious. I tried Archives but could not come up with anything. TIA.
Never Fails.....Another Busy Body
Such a pathetic, unprofessional post.
You do not know the reasons for my question. Can't a person just inquire of a job on this site without this kind of bashing. I think you've set up your own demise. You shouldn't have far to fall. Good luck.
You must have a really brown nose then
That woman wasn't nice to anyone unless there was something in it for her.
If I was such a brown nose,
I would not have been forced to quit. Trust me, I was NOT one of their favorites! :)
Once again the childless pay out the nose sm
and the company caters to the family MT, who wants to type between diapering and nursing and feeding hubby. No wonder this field has gone down the tubes.
Your nose is brown.
I did too long-time MT before MT killed my body and I had to do QA.
There are always folks who have to belittle those who know their stuff but fact is, it can be done. I even used to do $52 an hour on weekends when I was paid 13.5 cents a gross line. I could easily do 400+ lines an hour. In any event, I am a veteran who has been in the business well over 30 years and don't have to look up spellings, get it right the first time, knew my accounts and that's how WE do it. There are those I know who do it now and they are very valuable in this industry. Those who cannot do it, will get there one day but are not there yet and it is hard for them to believe, but we know :)
Any body work for Opti-Script ...sm
How are they to work for? pay, type of account, etc.
As I *said* in my post body, it IS awful that at MTSO cm
would not pay. I agreed with you on that. If you want me to grow some guts, as you say, sorry. Throwing the term demonic around when forewarning someone is just a little unnerving. Perhaps I was just not ready to envision demons and evil first thing in the morning. LOL
As I said before, I do agree with you that this person should definitely be held accountable for her actions. It is sad that our profession has come to this. I hope your friend gets her money back 100 times over and that this MTSO is put out of business as soon as possible.
I try to keep my mind and body busy outside transcribing
Sounds hokey but works for me. I work evenings, which I love. Seems like I always have a list or a practical plan in my head (and actually follow through with some of them, ha-ha), and I try to keep physically busy outside and inside daily when not transcribing (usually not really to exhaustion) so that when I DO finally get ready to transcribe, I'm glad to be able to sit. With the nicer weather, this works well, of course; I'm outside a lot more in the yard or walking (winters in Ohio are another story, though). Doing for other people who need me has very therapeutic for me; I didn't always think this way. I've gotten more involved with my aging mother, we babysit the grandnephews sometimes. Being very involved in local church has been great (I'd recommend that to anybody of any age). Not isolating myself has been key for me for these past few years in particular (have been transcribing 32 years). When I finally sit down to transcribe, I just want peace and quiet and the work settles me down. I realize how grateful I am to be able to stay home and appreciate my life.
If you have a nice body, it isalso noteable
if it is covered by a long dress. In Saudi Arabia they are not called 'burkas', they are called differently.
BTW, for whom do you 'want' to 'flaunt' your nice body?
The only one to whom I want to 'flaunt' my nice body is my husband, not even my boyfriend.
You see, even American women differ.
I can already say now that you should not go to Saudi Arabia or any Muslim country.
Unless you were joking!
snarf - coffee up the nose
Sorry it was like that BUT thanks for a great story to cheer up a gray monday morning!
let's see..10 fingers...10 toes...one nose..sm
and maybe even my backside..I was speaking for myself as well as the others who have thought your posts single-sighted, single minded, and rather on the sour grape side. I also did not see any name calling, though, so you were wrong about that part.
You've got brown stuff on your nose -
you know they monitor this board constantly! You talk to them all the time about it. Let's see how long it takes you to relay this posting.
Doesn't sound like a brown nose to me...
but rather a very grateful employee. This board is very discouraging to me. A lot of whiners who are not good medical transcriptionists and then turn it around to make the company they worked for look bad. Actually, it can be quite entertaining when I am bored.
or if you're not related you could brown nose your way
.
Hmmm-methinks your nose is brown.
Just do your work and quit being a cherry picking busy body.
Maybe some people cannot understand the dictator. If you understand the dictator, then just do the report and quit whining on this board.
Yes, she has her nose up Amit Chattergee's butt big time.
I have proof that she offshores. I also have correspondence where she deals with Amit, owner of MTIndia.
And what about times where they say 'use my normal' for a 3-page nose

Any body hear of a company in MA that is hiring editors for 3 cent a line? sm
I asking for someone else, the email was signed Jay
I give her a couple more months and she will take a serious nose dive. She has to keep replacing he
and start all over cheating them out of money.
It is a losing game. They make next to nothing, get paid for a warm body count. Losers. Recruiters

I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
To Before You Read This
Girl... you are absolutely right on target and now even after I read your comments, I never knew OSi outsourced. That to me is a SLAP in the face. And you are right about the promotions. I have applied for different jobs and told they were already taken. when they have a job available, they KNOW ahead of time who they are going to hire. and you are right about the "welcoming thing, saying welcome so and so, when we didn't know there was a job available Now that I know they ship work overseas, I am totally OUTTA here. And you are right again, you are NOT paid extra fo holidays, weekends, or shift differentials.
OSI........LOL....... read on.....
OSi will promise you the world if they want you bad enough. Then once they get you, the promises are null and void. I see where they are finally following through on their annual raises that they promised years ago that no one ever got....and FINALLY, a holiday incentive? Wow, they must really be desperate.......I worked for OSi for many years, gave them my all and got nothing in return except heartache in the end.........do what you want, but just be looking over your shoulder every inch of the way and get EVERYTHING in writing!
Don't believe everything you read. sm
Most are staying with MQ.
Did you read where it said
39 hour 7 day work week?? Does this mean we are being forced to work weekends? I only browsed through mine.
Don't believe all you read....
I had never even heard of MTStars when I was looking for my first at-home MT job. I would have never accepted the position I currently hold. Every time someone tries to encourage others to apply at "my company" the negative banter that follows only does more harm than good. Just wanted all to know you can't believe even half of what you read on here. Mostly just ex-employees of wonderful companies that couldn't quite make the cut.
Sorry, that should read SM above
nm
I can't read it.
In fact, I can't read any posts regarding Transcend. First time I heard of Yahoo even having a message board about them. If you can still access it, could you please copy and paste it and email it to me? I'm very interested in this, concerning the constant turnover & turmoil with that company. Thanks. 
I cant read it either. NM
aaa
Read above! Read below. Just read!
nm
Please read....
This topic has come up before and this concerns me as well. I saved a post I did on this board a while back. It's edited a little but the message is the same. Here it is.
I've worked in many pathology departments, referral labs, and the like. And I'm here to tell you that there isn't a single pathologist that I have met that is willing to go with VR let alone outsource their dictation. NOTHING will convince me otherwise. As for radiology, I am seeing too much of it being outsourced to ever believe it will go totally VR. Besides, VR is an absolute joke! Y'know that old phrase? Garbage in/Garbage out? Well, there are many docs who have already found out that's just how VR works. Just TRY, and I mean just TRY and take out the human element out of the picture (meaning the transcriptionist) and you will have reports coming back that are even worse than what is coming back from India!!!!! A question here....a very serious one......don't you think that if VR was more effective in transcribing reports that all the companies outsourcing overseas would go with VR before they did that? Something to think about. I've been around since 1990 in this field and they have been saying that VR was going to replace transcriptionists back then. Well, here we are 15 years later and quite frankly, VR hasn't even made it past first base yet. The doctors, the naysayers if you will, the big companies, etc. will be trying to find anyway they can to save money, cut costs and so on and the bottom line is, it will NEVER HAPPEN. The Transcriptionist is here to stay. There is absolutely no way you can take the human element out of this picture and have the absolute best quality reports/charts/medical information system on the planet....PERIOD.
Read MSG
Thank you for noticing!! Yes I made typos.. there are LOTS of MTs that make typos on here. As long as Im not doing it on my accounts I don't really care. I DO make this much on ONE account. I charge 12 cpl GROSS. I do have one Transcriptionist who make about 15000/year, so yes deduct this off the 60,000. This is also PRETAX. I really should not have to explain myself. I knew I would get some posts like the ones I got. I will laugh all the way to the bank with my nice FAT checks, while these negative people struggle at their low paying jobs. :)
Happy New Year!!
You do not know how to read do you?
Who said I still worked there?? I specifically said the entire year I worked there. As in PAST TENSE!!!
